It also describes your choices regarding use, access to and correction of such personal information that we may collect. Note that in this Policy we use the term “personal information” interchangeably with the term “personal data.” Hypermode owns and operates the Services (or engages third parties to operate aspects of the Services on Hypermode’s behalf).

We reserve the right to update this Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will revise the date at the top of the Policy and, in some cases, we may provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you a notification).

2. Hypermode as a Service Provider and Processor

This Policy does not apply to information we collect in connection with providing our customers with Hypermode’s proprietary AI development platform where our customer is the data controller (the “Hypermode  Services”).

In these instances, our customer is the controller of the personal information because it decides how or why the personal information it collects is processed. Hypermode is engaged as a service provider and processor to provide the Hypermode Services and help our customers achieve their objectives. When our customers process personal information through our Hypermode Services, they are responsible for ensuring compliance with the applicable law, including providing their customers and users with transparent notices.

Where Hypermode is a service provider and processor for our customers, our customer agreements and their privacy policies, rather than this one, will be applicable to the personal information processed, and we direct individuals to review those policies if they have any questions around how their data is obtained or processed within the Hypermode Services or wish to exercise their rights (if any) with respect to that personal information.

Hypermode’s processing activity as a service provider and processor is governed by the contracts we have with our customers, including our Hypermode Terms of Service and Data Protection Addendum (DPA) which include limits on our processing and defines how we secure and protect the personal information we process for our customers. Under the terms of those agreements, we will direct to our customer any data subject request you make to Hypermode for personal information that we process as a processor under agreements with that customer.

If you have any questions about how the businesses you engage with processes your personal information, you should contact them directly.

We are located in the United States, and the personal information that we collect is stored on servers hosted by us or our authorized third-party service providers located in the United States and elsewhere.
